Most of Retro’s GDC panel yesterday focused on Donkey Kong Country Returns, but there are some other neat nuggets included below as well!

– Retro Studios looked at Wario Land on Virtual Boy
– The team specifically looked at the separated platforming planes in which Wario could switch between background and foreground
– Dev. team would sometimes make something that resembled Metroid too much
– Many initial designs were scrapped since Donkey Kong Country Returns needed to be “fun and whimsical”
– Kensuke Tanabe: “We wanted to depend on Retro to make games we couldn’t [in Japan].”
– Wave level took very long to program
– Retro refers to Shigeru Miyamoto as “Master Yoda”
– Miyamoto told Retro: “Donkey Kong is my baby and you better get it right!”
– Super Guide feature was used to test and record bugs
– A bunch of bugs resulted from players running back to the left instead of always to the right
– Michael Kelbaugh joke: “We were going to make an addition to the manual that said ‘Don’t go left.'”
– Iwata told Retro: “I am looking forward to playing this product with my family and having fun”
– Retro checked back in with Retro following the game’s release and Iwata said his wish came true
– After simply running back and forth for ten minutes and watching the animations of Donkey Kong turning around, Shigeru Miyamoto told Retro that it seemed like Donkey Kong was “blowing” when he created dust clouds
– “Blow” mechanic was born from the off-handed remark above
– Retro still needed to make around 70 more levels after E3
– Retro joked that the next Nintendo classic they’d like to revive is Doki Doki Panic
– Retro also joked around by saying they’d like to make Pokemon Prime or work with Tingle

Despite the critical and commercial success Donkey Kong Country Returns has experienced, there are no plans for a sequel at the moment. That’s according to Retro Studio’s president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh, who also said that creating a platformer was quite difficult – moreso than he expected.

In more Donkey Kong-related news, Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe provided some information behind the game’s development. Tanabe said that told Retro Studios were denied a request to work on the franchise over five years ago, but were later given the opportunity to make a Donkey Kong game when the Big N felt the time was right.

Tanabe also commented on the possibility of a sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns:

“I wasn’t even thinking about doing a sequel for Metroid Prime until Retro showed me the last scene in the game, which was near the end of development. I wouldn’t say we won’t do a sequel [for Donkey Kong Country Returns], but we don’t have anything planned at this time.”
